1Opinion of the Court
PARKER, Chief Judge.
Henry D. Perry (Perry) and C & S Chemicals, Inc. (C & S), appeal the final judgment following a jury trial in this personal injury case arising from a dislodged spare tire strik*1258ing the vehicle of Lawrence C. McDougald. We reverse with directions to the trial court to enter a directed verdict in favor of Perry and C & S because the trial court erred by not granting Perry’s and C & S’s motion for directed verdict on the issue of negligence, by instructing the jury on res ipsa loquitur, and by not directing a verdict on the issue of future and past loss of earning capacity.
